Brabus Crawler Nampak Betul Betul Serious

G Wagon Nampak Jinak Berbanding Brabus 900 Crawler

Pada masa ini, kebanyakan kita tahu bahawa Brabus ialah penala Mercedes untuk dikunjungi jika anda seorang jutawan yang mencari Benz bespoke/yang-ditempah-khas (nampaknya mereka juga membuat bot). Ya, Brabus menyambut ulang tahunnya yang ke-45 dan mereka ingin melakukan kemewahan yang bertentangan dengan salah satu ubah suai Mercedes mereka.

Malah, mereka telah membuat sesuatu yang jauh dari limosin mewah seperti yang anda boleh bayangkan – mereka telah membuat buggy.

Mereka memanggilnya Brabus 900 Crawler dan ia sangat eksklusif anda dijamin tidak akan pernah melihatnya di jalan raya. Itu kebanyakannya kerana ia bukan undang-undang jalanan. Hanya 15 akan dibuat dan setiap satu dijual pada harga 749,000 euro.

Ini bukan G-Wagon yang dibogelkan untuk padang pasir. Brabus 900 Crawler menunggang di atas casis khas yang diperbuat daripada karbon terdedah dengan rangka tiub dan sel keselamatan integral keluli berkekuatan tinggi.

Lekapan suspensi direka untuk keliatan maksimum dan kerja-kerja kejuruteraan besar-besaran terpaksa membuat reka bentuk komponen khas untuk mengimbangi perbezaan ketinggian antara rangkaian kuasa dan roda yang digerakkan. Ini semua berbaloi untuk pelepasan yang dipertingkatkan kepada 53 sentimeter!

Penyerap hentak boleh laras empat hala dan custom aluminium struts perlu dibuat khusus untuk 900 Crawler. Tayar besar 40 x 13.50 R 20 dipasang pada tayar forged BRABUS Monoblock HD “Platinum Edition”. Tayar mendapat corak 8 bolt dan terdapat alat ganti yang sama di belakang sekiranya off-road menjadi terlalu kasar.

Gerbang roda depan dan belakang yang lebar memastikan roda besar itu kelihatan terintegrasi ke dalam kerja badan, yang tidak mempunyai pintu atau tingkap. Panel bumbung gentian karbon melindungi daripada matahari dan berfungsi adalah saluran udara untuk mereka yang berada di tempat duduk belakang. Terdapat sayap belakang untuk sentuhan sporti dan dua panel LED untuk pemanduan malam di bukit pasir liar.

Bahagian hadapan mencedok udara segar untuk radiator dengan saluran masuk udaranya yang besar manakala plat tergelincir keluli tahan karat melindungi bahagian mekanikal daripada kerosakan. Terdapat satu lagi di belakang. Tangki bahan api keselamatan 100L boleh dikeluarkan menggunakan pengikat lepasan cepat. Panel rocker pada kedua-dua belah cukup kuat untuk dikendalikan apabila memasuki kenderaan.

Eight cylinders, two turbochargers, and a displacement of 4.5 liters – these are the key data of the BRABUS 900 ROCKET V8 twin-turbo, increased-displacement engine that powers the CRAWLER. The engine is a masterpiece of engineering with select hi-tech components. They include forged pistons with a diameter of 84 millimeters (3.3 in), precision-balanced special piston rods and a special billet crankshaft with a stroke of 100 millimeters (3.9 in).

The elements of the forced induction system are just as select. The two special BRABUS turbochargers produce a maximum boost pressure of 1.4 bar, while the two BRABUS BoostXtra valves generate a thrilling blow-off noise when the driver lifts off the gas. High-pressure fuel pumps and a ram-air intake system with special air filters supply the engine with fuel and combustion air. The engine is housed under an attractive and sporty BRABUS engine cover produced from red carbon fiber. The BRABUS high-performance exhaust system on the outlet side captivates with its two matt black tailpipes side-exiting below the carbon rocker panels on either side of the vehicle in front of the rear wheels. Special downpipes with a diameter of 76 millimeters (3 in) and metal catalysts let the eight-cylinder breathe freely. The two BRABUS mufflers with actively controlled exhaust valves provide active sound management. The driver can choose between a throaty V8 sound and a subtle whisper in “Coming Home” mode at the touch of a button on the steering wheel.

The BRABUS powerplant engineers and electronics specialists precisely coordinated the interaction of the high-performance components. This result in flawless durability and tremendous power delivery. The engine of the BRABUS 900 CRAWLER produces 662 kW / 900 hp (888 bhp) at a low 6,200 rpm. The peak torque of 1,250 Nm (922 lb-ft) is just as exceptional. It is on tap at a low 2,900 rpm. This figure is limited electronically in the vehicle to 1,050 Nm (774 lb-ft). BRABUS recommends high-performance lubricants from MOTUL also for demanding desert operations.

The power is transferred to the permanent all-wheel-drive system that is equipped with electronically controlled locking differentials by a nine-speed transmission, whose gears are shifted with the BRABUS RACE paddle shifters on the ergonomic steering wheel. Automatic mode is alternatively available.

The explosive combination of 900 horsepower and all-wheel drive is reflected in tremendous acceleration. Despite a curb weight of more than two metric tons plus crew, the BRABUS 900 CRAWLER slings itself from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a mere 3.4 seconds. Due to the off-road tires mounted for driving in the desert, the top speed is electronically limited to 160 km/h (100 mph).

The cockpit of the BRABUS supercar provides an experience of the fascination of this desert racer as pure as no other BRABUS supercar before. The driver plus a maximum of three passengers are strapped into the carbon racing seats of the BRABUS 900 CRAWLER with four-point seatbelts. The seats provide perfect support and outstanding comfort. They are covered in the BRABUS upholstery shop with bright red Silvertex fabric that matches the frame and some interior sections sporting that same color. This hi-tech fabric was adopted from the BRABUS Marine high-performance sport boats. However, what counts in a desert racer is not so much the imperviousness to water, but rather to sand. In addition, this material stands out due to its remarkable resistance to being bleached by the sun. Just as exceptional as this choice of material is the high-quality workmanship that goes into the quilting applied with pinpoint precision and the BRABUS logos embroidered on the head restraints.

The interior features red anodized parts such as the pedals and the driver footrest as well as elements such as the switches with red glazing to match the red highlights that BRABUS adds with the frame, the chassis components and the seat upholstery. The bracket for the GPS navigation system positioned in front of the co-driver sports that same color. BRABUS optionally also supplies individually compiled map data for the area where the particular CRAWLER buyer operates the vehicle.

The vehicle has an intercom system on board for communication among the individual crew members. It can be used with the four supplied BRABUS carbon helmets or with any other headsets.

The BRABUS 900 CRAWLER is built in a limited edition of just 15 vehicles. The first five of these supercars will be delivered this still year. Another five CRAWLERS will follow in 2023 and five more in 2024.

The BRABUS 900 CRAWLER sells for 749,000 euros (export price excluding statutory VAT in Germany).
